data-source-line=\"132-132\">As described:<\/p>\n\n<blockquote data-source-line=\"133-133\">\n<p data-source-line=\"133-133\">\u201cIf several registered companies in Hainan are involved in processing the product at different stages (for example, one company does assembly, another does packaging), their value-added contributions can be combined. In that case, the same formula applies, but the material costs and prices from all involved companies are added together.\u201d\u00a0<a

data-source-line=\"135-135\">This matters because it enables a\u00a0<strong>cluster effect<\/strong>: you can distribute processing steps across specialized partners (assembly, testing, packaging, labeling, compliance), rather than forcing one company to do everything.<\/p>\n\n<h4 id=\"example-3%3A-optimization-strategy-%E2%80%94-luxury-watch-(designing-to-pass-30%25)\"
